Walking around Central Park in Antigua, Guatemala at dust was wonderfully romantic, it's just ashame Stuart isn't here to share it with me.
The park was full of couples kissing and cuddling on benches. All different ages and the lights from the fountain and nearby building made it even more romantic.
Antigua is a beautiful Colonial city. The streets are all cobbled and the low rise buildings are pastel colours.
I've enjoyed today walking around the ruins in the city and just taking in all the beautiful arts and crafts in the shops.
Things are very inexpensive here compared to Costa Rica. I've just bought a lovely necklace for Q35 (about £2.80). I bartered down from Q75.
The main sitting next to me was very impressed. I'm still getting used to having conversations with people without them trying to sell me something. Some people genuinely just want to talk to someone new and I like this.
Tomorrow I am going to hike the local volcano. It's an early 6:00am start but it should be worth it. Then I think I'll try to find the local market in the afternoon.
I'm missing my friends and family a lot but with the wonders of modern technology (and free wifi) I'm in contact with them frequently.
